Magpie forgets it's a bird, becomes a fruit bat instead

"What are you doing, Steve?"

"Nothin'. Just hanging around".

In every group of friends there's always that quirky mate who has to do things a little differently from everyone else. Just don't try to understand their reasoning because you'll walk away more confused than you started.

It's a situation that's perfectly summed up by the two magpies in this video shared by The Magpie Whisperer. Obviously not content to perch like a normal (read: boring) bird, it instead decides it wants to be a fruit bat – much to the bewilderment of its mate.

Footage of the contrary Cracticus tibicen doing a New Thing has been watched over 3 million times on Facebook.

We're still trying to figure out which one we're more like – the weirdo hanging upside down, or the totally confused pal who has no idea what's going on.
